Absolute steal if you got it for 3 grand, which I dont believe considering its a 5 grand bike.

Mate, I dont know who you are, but the OP asked for $3k bikes and that is what I paid for mine from Bikeforce Docklands, cost me $100 to get it delivered to Tasmania. They were advertising on bike exchange. If you cant contribute to the OPs question, keep your comments to yourself!!!!!!!

I bought a Giant TCR 0 for $3200 in October and love it. I spoke with all the local bike shops, and narrowed the choice down to the Giant and an alloy Cannondale. Both LBS offered reasonable trade-in prices on my previous Oppy, but the Di2 gears on the Giant clinched the deal. I'm very happy with the bike and the electic gear change is smooth and easy to use.

Giant TCR 0Nobody looks back on their life....and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep !!

Just relax a bit, I dont think anything I posted deserved that response. Well done, as I said, absolute steal as any normal person would agree. Can help but notice there is none advertised anywhere near that price now.

Oi! No, not the Toyota's (LOVE my Toyota's) I prefer to refer to Giants as the Hyundai of the Cycling world.

Hyundai? Right, clearly you're informed. Perhaps check some facts before you slate a frame that is/has/will win on tour
